Prep fundraising efforts help children thrive

At Bridgewater School, we share a common purpose with BBC Children in Need: believing that every child should have the chance to thrive and be the best they can be. The Prep Department takes immense pride in organising an annual event that enables pupils to gain a deeper understanding of the charity’s mission while working together to make a real difference.

For the 2024 appeal, our Pupil Voice Ambassadors took on the task of exploring ways to support the charity. After thoughtful discussion and debate, the pupils overwhelmingly chose to hold a non-uniform day and a cake sale to raise funds. Their enthusiasm and hard work led to an incredible total of over £600 raised for BBC Children in Need.

Mr Rooney, Head of the Prep Department and Deputy Head, commented: “We are committed to nurturing a strong ‘pupil voice’ within our community. We encourage our Prep children to share their thoughts and ideas through various channels, including a dedicated suggestion box and through our Pupil Voice Ambassadors who are elected each term to discuss the view of their peers and help shape decisions that impact school life.”

We are incredibly proud of our students’ dedication to charitable giving and their commitment to making a positive impact. Well done to all involved!
